1 :
ive taken a flight from singapore to usa and i think it was about 20-22hours and they had really good movies on and for some reason you just feel sleepy once you are on a place unlike being up till 2am in your house hahah
2 :
12 HOURS BUT THERE WAS A STOPOVER IN FRANCE
3 :
Augusta, Maine to Melbourne, Australia - 29 hours - if I remember correctly. Puddle-jump from AUG/Augusta to EWR/Newark, NJ - 3hrs ERW/Newark-LAX/Los Angeles - 6hrs LAX/Los Angeles-SYD/Sydney - 17hrs SYD/Sydney-Melbourne/MEL - 3hrs ============== 29 hrs Upon my return however, MEL->LAX - 16hrs LAX->EWR - (5hrs in the air) + (10hr stopover in LAX) - 15hrs Bus from ERW-Augusta - 6hrs. ================ 37 hrs
4 :
Mumbai ('Bombay' then) to New York. Started in Mumbai at midnight (00:00) and reached New York at 04:30pm (local time) that corresponds to 03:00am. Passed through Kuwait, Rome & London.
5 :
sydney aus to LA, LA to Denver, Denver to Miami, Miami to Trinidad.
6 :
Ottawa -> Toronto (352 km, 45 minutes) Toronto -> Anchorage (4851 km, 5hr 45 minutes) Anchorage -> Hong Kong (8216 km, 9 hours 45 minutes) Hong Kong - Sydney Australia (7262 km, 8 hours 30 minutes) Total travel distance of 21,045 km with a travel time of about 24 hours and 45 minutes (calculated by dividing distance by 850km/h average 747 flight speed). This does not include layovers and plane changing which increased the flight about 15 more hours as there was a 13 hours layover in Hong Kong, which would have made this flight almost 40 hours (one-way), and believe me, it felt like it.
